After a Flash Marriage to an Older Man, the Brooding Tycoon Coaxes Me Tenderly

【Cool, money-minded fake heiress vs. refined scoundrel, real big shot】 【Marriage first, love later, older man, sweet romance, simmering tension, mutual devotion】 After being kicked out, fake heiress Zhi Yan plans to find a shield to get her adoptive brother to stop pestering her. But Zhou Xiannan, the notoriously woman-averse heir to an elite family, sweeps her into the civil affairs bureau the first time they meet. After they get their marriage certificate, the dignified, self-possessed man’s gaze turns dark: “Now that we’re married, we have to make the act convincing. That includes married life.” Zhi Yan thinks he’s just saying it. After all, he leaves on a business trip as soon as they get their certificate. Until one night, when he comes home drunk, pins her down with red-rimmed eyes, and bites her earlobe. “Sleeping in separate rooms? Then how am I supposed to take advantage of you while I’m drunk?” Zhi Yan feels his solid muscles and shakes her head, blushing. “You’re drunk. I can’t take advantage of you.” The man smiles with utter composure. “It’s not taking advantage. It’s helping someone out.” * Faced with her adoptive brother’s obsessive advances and the provocations of a scheming male flirt, the man who once strictly followed every rule turns into a crazed, hungry wolf. “I’ve kept up the act for thirty years. I’m tired of it.” He draws her into his arms, his gaze tender. “Darling, be a little spoiled. Your man can afford to pamper you.” * Bonus scene: Zhou Xiannan only knows that his wife runs a tea shop. Later, he sees a document on her computer. Male lead profile: 189 cm tall, rich, powerful, handsome, refined scoundrel. Further down: firm muscles, sharp definition, six-pack and V-line. Zhou Xiannan raises an eyebrow, remembering how she always gets distracted at those moments, and immediately corners her in the bathroom. “Darling, how about I demonstrate the limits of an intimate scene for you?”
